Since that report, however, new details have emerged regarding Browner's status. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, (h/t Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk), Browner's visit with the Redskins was moved to Friday rather than canceled, so nothing is set in stone quite yet.

Breer added that the corner would in fact be meeting with the Redskins on Friday afternoon:

From me and @RapSheet: Per Redskins sources, Browner's visit to Ashburn -- called off as of this AM -- is now back on for this afternoon.

Browner missed the latter part of the 2013 season after being suspended for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy for a second time.

Browner has been conditionally reinstated, but he will have to sit out the first four games of the 2014 season, per Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com.

While Browner certainly has his issues, he has also proven to be an excellent NFL cornerback. He was undrafted out of Oregon State, but after a few strong seasons in the CFL, he was signed by the Seahawks prior to the 2011 season.

The 6'4" defensive back proceeded to make an immediate impact by intercepting six passes in his first season and being selected to the Pro Bowl.

Browner continued to play well in 2012 and 2013, but that was overshadowed by a pair of suspensions. There is definite risk involved with Browner, but the reward is immense as well.
